Chapter 578: Deliberation
"I just sold three paintings!"
When Anya saw Han Xuan coming back, she excitedly reported the good news, "Mr. Buffett asked me to help him paint a portrait, and there are two themes to choose from." ”
"Really, how much?
Don't help him paint if you don't have it, you will be a famous person in the future, and there are fewer paintings in circulation on the market, which are more valuable. ”
Han Xuan rubbed Anya's head and asked her with a smile.
When she was a child, Anya liked Han Xuan's affectionate gestures very much, but now she always feels that he is treating herself as a child, and she is dissatisfied with slapping his hand away, "A piece of half a million dollars!"
"He doesn't give three million, don't help him paint.
This is a super-rich man, much richer than me!
Why don't I help you raise the price, and you will give me half of the extra money?"
Han Xuan pouted Anya to raise the price in front of the old man, and the nature of the profiteer was undoubtedly exposed.
Warren Buffett smiled, he valued Anya's development potential.
In other words, with Han Xuan's friend, the girl will definitely make a name for herself in the art world in the future.
With the idea of investment and fun, he gave a high price of 500,000 US dollars, thinking that the price was already very good, but Han Xuan was still not satisfied, he felt funny, and said: "It's already very high." ”
"Well, my mother's small oil paintings can sometimes only sell for so much money. ”
Anya was easily satisfied and explained to Han Xuan seriously.
Han Xuan pinched the pig teammate's face, and said angrily: "Stupid!
Mr. Buffett, please help her exchange her pay for fifty shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock, without giving money. ”
"This one does.
Why, do you think my Berkshire Hathaway stock price is going to go up?"
Buffett heard the meaning of Han Xuan's words and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you yet, the operation in Mexico is great."
I never dared to speculate on the economic crisis itself, Soros came to ask me before, I knew that the profits were so big, and I also made a move. ”
"Berkshire Hathaway's stock price is definitely going to go up, you're a stock god.
I hope you can make more money, so that she can rely on these fifty shares and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
I can make money in Mexico, but by mistake, you can take advantage of the financial crisis to buy low and sell high in the stock market, which is the safest thing to do.
The company is too short of money, so I want to fight hard, otherwise I would never dare to do it.
I was still scared until the investment company successively transferred the money to my account, and I didn't let go of the dim sum. ”
Han Xuan's words were very modest, but the expression on his face was that of a deputy who came to praise me again.
Warren Buffett said with a smile: "Berkshire Hathaway's money is from investors, and I'm just a part-time worker who helps them manage their finances, so I don't dare to gamble."
Just like this joint acquisition of ABC TV, I now have a 3.27 percent stake in the company, and it will take at least $3 billion to get to 20 percent.
If it fails, I'm afraid I will have to go down from the position of executive officer, and the shareholders have already complained about me in the first few failed investments. ”
"Berkshire Hathaway's share price, from 1985 to the present, has increased 56 times, who would dare to let you go?"
Han Xuan's tone was sincerely admiring, this old man who was cutting sausages was a figure who could stand on the "god platform".
When thinking of stock trading, everyone will think of him.
Since Warren Buffett took control of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, the stock price has risen from $20 that year to about $29,100 today, and it has risen more than 1,400 times in 29 years!
This is not the end of the story.
In the future, Berkshire Hathaway's share price will exceed $200,000!
In other words, if a shareholder holds a share in his hand, it can be worth 200,000 yuan, and it has been the most valuable stock for decades.
The stocks that I asked for for Anya just now are estimated to be worth about $10 million in 20 years!
However, leaving aside those halos above his head, Buffett has also experienced many failed investments.
For example, in 1977 he bought the Buffalo Evening News for $32.5 million, and by 1982 the cumulative loss had reached $12 million, or 40% of the investment loss in five years.
In 1989, Warren Buffett bought $358 million of preferred stock of American Airlines, and until now, American Airlines has lost a total of $2.4 billion.
In 1985, he bought $500 million in Met-ABC stock, and the next year, ABC's profit turned from a profit of $130 million to a loss of $70 million.
From 1986 to the present, the number of losses has increased every year, which is why Metropolitan Communications wants to get rid of this burden.
is also the reason why Buffett heard that Han Xuan had a solution and came to test it.
A few years ago, he tried to intervene to change the ABC's business model and cut down on the station's bloated management structure.
Metropolitan Communications took Buffett's advice, but it didn't work out well.
Warren Buffett's vision of investment is unmatched, but there is nothing he can do about the fact that TV entertainment programs are not attractive.
Han Xuan bit off the black pepper beef tenderloin pasta, and just asked people to put more beef tenderloin, so half of the plate was noodles and half of the beef tenderloin.
I couldn't eat it anymore, so I asked Anya to help solve it, put down the fork and get the topic down to business:
"To be honest, I was going to let my grandfather buy ABC TV wholly and give you 20%, but I didn't want to.
By buying ABC TV, SOS Group will definitely make money.
But the amount of this acquisition is too high, and it is a bit difficult for SOS Group to draw out so much money at one time, so we have the current meeting.
I can't tell you the specifics, but I have a lot of ideas in my head for TV shows, and those ideas are the most important.
You won't be able to reveal until the acquisition is complete, you know, sir. ”
Buffett doesn't know whether to evaluate Han Xuan's arrogance, or whether he should say that he has confidence.
In the case of ABC television, Buffett understands that CBS and NBC have their own flagship programs.
ABC's market share has been squeezed by these two commercial television stations, which has led to declining profits year after year, and now it has to have exceptionally good programs to attract audiences.
I watched the recent movies released by Dimen Pictures before, and I can make a lot of money on each of them.
Han Xuanneng has turned Dimen Pictures, an unknown small film company originally owned by Miramax, into one of the hottest emerging film companies this year.
A "Toy Story" has caused a sensation all over the world, and the novels he has written show that he has a good perspective on entertainment.
"Why don't you apply for a patent? So I can know. ”
"But in this way, if the people at ABC TV get the details, they will definitely raise the price at the time of acquisition. Han Xuan replied to him.
Warren Buffett felt like a cat scratching in his heart, and he couldn't figure out whether the ideas he was talking about were gold or shit.
The difference between the two can be worth hundreds of millions or even billions!
With a one-time investment of $3 billion, even if you buy Coca-Cola stock, it doesn't cost that much.
Buffett waved his hand to let the bodyguards leave, took out a blank piece of paper from his bag, unscrewed the cap of the pen and wrote something.
After Han Xuan waited for him to finish writing, he took the piece of paper and found that it was written in a simple non-disclosure agreement.
Let's just say that I won't tell anyone about today's conversation until SOS Group buys ABC TV.
nor does it make any oral or written business advice to ABC TV.
Anya saw the words on the paper and planned to leave.
As soon as he stood up, he was reluctant to give up his steak and was ready to take the plate away.
Han Xuan pulled her to sit down and signaled that it was okay.
I looked at my signature, folded the paper and put it in my pocket, patted my chest, and said to Buffett, "I believe in you, sir."
This is an acquisition that could make tens of billions of dollars in the future, and ABC TV will have a huge increase in market value as a result."
When Warren Buffett heard this number, his heart jumped.
I was no longer in the mood to eat, leaned forward, and listened to Han Xuan talk about the ideas of variety shows and TV series.
The conversation continued until 6 p.m., when a customer came to the restaurant with an appointment.
When they went out, the old and the young were very enthusiastic about each other under the surprised eyes of everyone, and made an appointment to go to Pebble Beach to play golf, and each got in the car and set off.
New Yorkers mostly go home to prepare dinner parties, there are few cars on Fifth Avenue, shops close early, and colorful light bulbs are lit up.
The extended Cadillac car faces the street lights and drives in the direction of Bryant Park, and tonight's Victoria's Secret Angel's catwalk will begin (to be continued.) )
